Diary of a Common Man

I get flashes in my mind usually at bedtime when Im half asleep and make mental notes to try and remember them but by morning they have slipped away into the murky gloom of forgetfulness and as I am very impatient to write more stories I have decided to finish my life story. I must say that life was never dull but on the contrary absorbingly interesting always. I spend a lot of time talking to God and I think I know him well. Hes carried me most of my life and guided me safely always. Perhaps one day Ill know the answers to some of lifes questions. As I look back at my life from the lofty perch of eighty seven years old I wonder sometimes how I ever reached this great age but before I go any further I should first of all tell you my name which by the way is Godfrey. My parents saw it on a packet of American cigarettes namely Godfrey Phillips. I dont regard myself as a medium or anything like that just an ordinary puzzled guy thats all who wishes like most of us to have normal dreams. Although my memory is beginning to falter a little I can still remember clearly.
